Wenwen saw a small hole and shouted nervously, "Cousin, come here quickly and let Cancan take a look first. Be careful of poisonous snakes."
She pulled Cancan's ear and said, "Cancan, go and take a look. You are the pioneer and scout."
The little monkey jumped directly into the cave and disappeared without a trace.
Wenwen ran over immediately upon seeing this. "Oh, how did Cancan get in? What if he gets surrounded by poisonous snakes? He's so small, no matter how powerful he is, he can't defeat an entire group of snakes."
Seeing that no poisonous snake came out, Yu Xunting continued to put the stick under the big rock and pry the big rock with the lever principle.
After a long time, he finally pried out a hole as big as a person. Yu Xunting put down the thick wooden stick in his hand and picked up another thin wooden stick.
He turned around and said to Master Wenwen and his apprentice, "I'll go down and take a look. If he doesn't come out for a long time, you go back to the village and call for help."
Wenwen ignored him. "Instead of waiting anxiously outside, why don't we go down together to check on the situation? I'm worried about Cancan." She turned to look at He Hongchi. "Master, are you waiting outside or coming with us?"
He Hongchi said, "I want to join you guys and also want to know whether the tomb is real or not."
A few people decided to go into the cave to take a look, discuss what items to bring, and then set off.
Mainly follow Yu Xunting's arrangements. He packed three bags, including the pills, dry food, a flashlight, a dagger, and a hatchet...
The entrance of the cave was barely big enough for one person. When my hand touched the soil in the cave, I felt it was slippery and damp, mixed with an unpleasant fishy smell.
Thinking that hundreds of poisonous snakes had crawled back and forth here, several people couldn't help but have their hair stand on end. The cool temperature in the cave made them shiver.
Yu Xunting crawled forward cautiously, looking at the two people behind him from time to time, afraid that they would be left alone.
They were afraid of disturbing the poisonous snake and did not dare to make any sound. The cave was pitch black and there was no sound except for the breathing of a few people.
Fortunately, we did not encounter any poisonous snakes since entering the cave.
Several people endured the nausea and crawled in the sticky cave for a long time. Suddenly, a fault opened up in front of them, and Yu Xunting fell down without noticing.
Wenwen, who was following closely behind him, had no time to react. When she came to her senses, half of her body was hanging in the air.
Fortunately, the fault was not high, only about three meters. When Wenwen fell, Yu Xunting caught her tightly below.
With the two people's previous experience as a lesson, He Hongchi climbed to the edge of the cave entrance. He held on to the entrance with his hands as much as possible, facing the cave entrance and slowly lowering his feet to avoid breaking his legs when jumping down.
He knows that he is old and tries his best to avoid getting hurt and not burden the young people.
The moment they stepped into the tomb, an air of antiquity and mystery washed over them. Faint light filtered through the narrow passage, illuminating the eerie walls and ancient carvings. They advanced cautiously, each step filled with caution.
Suddenly, a deep roar echoed in the tomb, making people's hair stand on end. They stopped, their hearts beating faster, not knowing what was making such a sound.
At this moment, something jumped onto Wenwen's shoulder, and her taut string suddenly broke. She was frightened in the dark and jumped around, covering her mouth with her left hand, not daring to let herself scream, and her right hand kept patting her left shoulder.
Hearing the noise, Yu Xunting hurriedly took out a flashlight. At this moment, he didn't care about anything else, he was just worried that something might happen to Wenwen.
The flashlight came on and the surroundings suddenly became silent, as if the sound just now was just their illusion.
The flashlight shone on Wenwen, and when her eyes met the light, she subconsciously closed her eyes.
The one clinging to Wenwen's shoulder was the little monkey that had disappeared for a long time. At this moment, it hugged Wenwen's neck with grievance, and was constantly patted by Wenwen who had his eyes closed.
Yu Xunting walked over with amusement. He grabbed Wenwen's wrist and whispered soothingly, "Don't be afraid, it's Cancan on your shoulder."
Wenwen then dared to open her eyes, "I was scared to death by you. Where did you go? Don't you know that I would be worried?" She cursed in a low voice.
Cancan felt wronged, "I chased the snakes to another place. There were so many snakes."
Wenwen held its head and said, "Stop. I don't want to hear anything about snakes anymore. It makes me want to vomit." She felt a sticky and foul smell on her body.
Yu Xunting and He Hongchi took flashlights and scanned the surroundings. It was a corridor with strange patterns carved on the walls, as well as many words and figures. Due to its age, the murals had become mottled and faded.
Suddenly, a huge bat flew over their heads, scaring them so much that they almost screamed. Then they encountered a narrow passage that only one person could pass through sideways. On the other side of the passage was a bottomless pit. Just as they were nervously passing through, several more bats swooped down towards them.
He Hongchi, who was walking at the back, accidentally stepped on the bat and fell into a deep pit. Wenwen reached out to pull him and was also dragged into the pit. Yu Xunting saw this and quickly jumped in after him.
In the few seconds they fell, they suddenly lost all senses and had no idea how deep the pit was. Even the flashlights were useless and it was pitch black all around.
They looked around in terror and found that the stones on the wall began to loosen and fall down. They ran desperately, trying to find a way out.
In a panic, they accidentally triggered a mechanism, and a huge stone door slowly rose up. A huge tomb chamber appeared in their eyes, and two clusters of fire lit up in the tomb.
As you step into the tomb, an ancient and mysterious atmosphere hits you. In the center of the tomb, a huge coffin lies quietly, like a sleeping giant, exuding an awe-inspiring aura.
The coffin is surrounded by various utensils, including exquisite porcelain, gorgeous gold and silver wares, and ancient bronze wares. They are arranged in a staggered manner, as if telling the glory of the past.
The walls are covered with inscriptions and murals. These inscriptions are ancient and mysterious, as if calling from ancient times. The murals depict various scenes, including gods from myths and legends and soldiers marching in battle.
Several people looked at everything in front of them silently, and couldn't help but think of the thrilling experience just now. Was it just to bring them to this tomb?
In this silent tomb, time seemed to have frozen, and everything seemed so solemn and dignified. Standing in front of the coffin, looking at the intricate and gorgeous patterns.
Wenwen whispered to the two of them, "I don't know which dynasty this person belongs to, but judging by the specifications of this tomb, he must have been a king, a prince, or a general."
He Hongchi looked at the burial objects scattered all over the ground and said, "Looking at the burial objects, his status must be quite high."
Yu Xunting didn't care about all these. He only cared about how to get out. He carefully observed the tomb wall to see if there was a door leading to other places.
